They're not cylindrical, they each represent a different shape;
cylinder, hexacone, double-hexacone,
weird-warped-crooked-cube-on-its-corner ;)
They really are polar coordinates of a sort, although even that's not
really a good description, since it's a hex rather than a circle.
Perhaps the word 'angular' is more fitting than polar in this case...
but that doesn't get me any closer to a good name! >_<
